thx but is there any way to see the photos you have on edit post?  There is no way to delete or move them if they came out wrong.

Great capture!

From what I know that is not possible indeed.

If you upload the wrong picture by accident, you can't fix it.  They need to do something about the website to allow people to see everything that would be posted.

Yes, I have seen that too.
Strange.

I did a HDR with 5 burst.  Then you have to HDR merge each.  Use only the HDR, then merge all the HDRs into a regular Pano to edit otherwise Lightroom won't merge them.

Yes, that is the best way.
First merge all stacks one by one to new images.
Then make pano.
Autopano giga can also do the HDR merging, but Affinity Photo gives much better results on that.
It is a lot of work, but worth it in the end (30 minutes per pano I guess)

I assume the effects are probably better with Affinity but I already have Lightroom. Is the image effects way better though?

What takes 30 minutes?

Can you take all my files and see what you can do with Affinity? https://drive.google.com/open?id ... m9Wg6CA5fmt0Gm0hLv-

Not now, but sometime this or next week.

Processing time or us clicking?  I just select the 5 AEB and HDR merge.  Then the others and HDR merge.  I delete the rest in lightroom, keep the HDR, merge normal and it's done.  : ) Of course after maxing deghost and selecting the appropriate align settings.

You might want to do jpeg next time.
You don't need DNG for AEB merges since there is enough data in these 5 jpegs already.

I can't use these without heavy editing (there is so much distortion and vignetting, that won't work well)

Processing the batches and generating the pano file(s).
It does depend on the amount of images of course.
But if I do a 360 sphere (that is 34 captures) it takes me about 30 minutes.

JPG is better than RAW for AEB?

I don't like to do a sphere 360 because it takes super long plus it sucks turning around.  I was doing it w/ the Spark.

AntDX316 Posted at 6-6 00:41

Normally not, BUT the phantom has too much distortion and vignetting that needs correction.
In that case, I'd rather have DJI to do that work for me with JPEG.
(JPEG will correct for this).

They work super nice on Google Streetview.

I don't see any distortion or vignetting..  Perhaps because I have the V2.0 with a 07/18 mfg. date.

Can I get paid to upload good 360 spheres by Google?

AntDX316 Posted at 6-6 01:09

I think Lightroom has auto correction for it too.
In Affinity it is really horrible.

No unfortunately not.
Google only pays for advertisements via their adsense program.

Superb capture Ant - well done!

I get paid hundreds of dollars taking pix in the air through but can't get paid even $1 for good spheres.

Because I like them so much
Plus I get my name out and people asking if I can make those for them too

Hi
Have you taken your AEB pictures in sets of 5 ?

If so, try and keep your drone still whilst you take the pictures,(from the files you uploaded) take 337, 338, 339, 340 & 341, you can see the drone or camera must have moved, could cause a blur etc if it happened as the shutter was open.

Also I usually take jpegs and raw at the same time, then pick what you want to use.

347 - 351 appear to be more fixed, so quickly using 5 of your raw files, this took 11mins, so these are really HDR(AEB), just keep up the good work.(Could have straightened and got rid of the vignetting etc.......).

AntDX316 Posted at 6-6 03:31

That depends.
I usually like the freedom of working without the need for payment better!
I do have some paid assignments from time to time, but I generally like to work for myself more
(that is one of the reasons why it is still a hobby for me)

Very nice shot

One of your others, total time 10 mins - saved in low quality.

Flying for fun is cool but it gets really old and super boring w/o a purpose.  The worst things at times, believe it or not, is having No purpose but there is obviously a lot of things that we could do to fulfill purpose such as flying around and watching people or something.

KEJ Posted at 6-6 05:13

The historic feel isn't that cool imo..

It has no blur but I should've turned Lock Gimbal on.  Every picture until my future ones had it off.  I thought the gimbal is mobile while taking the shot but apparently it prevents yaw drift.  Lock Gimbal while shooting is confusing.  When you are in Photo mode it should be locked every single time without an option to do otherwise.

Montfrooij Posted at 6-6 01:19

I don't use Autocorrect for the image because it looks wrong.  Also with the photos off the A7 III, it looks wrong too unless I'm taking a shot of drone in the air like on my website w/ the drones.

With AEB it's like having an ND/UV/CPL filter on.

With autocorrect, I mean the lens profile.
That removes the distortion and the vignetting.
If I open the files you sent me, they have huge distortion and vignetting.
(because they are DNG files, and DNG files are straight from the sensor, so with the most information available, but also without corrections the camera makes)
